Three minutes after the close of regular trading, at 4:03 p.m., the company filed a form NT 10-K with the SEC, explaining it was unable to file its 10-K report on time, citing ``unforeseen delays due to recent acquisitions and related business activities.'
The company issued a press release Thursday saying the 10-K, which requires the consent of its outside auditor, would be filed Friday. That sent the company's shares soaring 31 percent Friday, quelling concerns that the filing might be delayed. Cyber-Care rose 4 1/2 to 19 1/4 in trading of 2.74 million shares.
The form NT, although filed after the close of trading today, was signed Thursday by Cyber-Care's president, Paul Pershes.
Reached at the company's office today, Pershes said the NT was actually filed Friday by company attorneys, who inserted the wrong date next to his electronic signature.
He said the audit by its new auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, was ``just about' complete, and that the 10-K will be filed Monday.
``There's nothing wrong,' Pershes said of the delay. ``We're a large growing firm and we've had a lot of changes.' |
